That was close to a perfect win. Score a whole bunch of runs early, get a quality outing from the starter, then let the bullpen finish it off without making things interesting. Just perfect. The Yankees did all of that in Saturday night’s 8-2 win over the Angels. New York has won five straight and nine of their last dozen games overall.
First Inning Offense
Coming into Saturday’s game, the Yankees led all of baseball with 51 first inning runs. It wasn’t close either — the Padres were a distant second with 42 runs.
